Services Industry Skills Board has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2026
Planned review date December 2031
Summary
Toi Mai Workforce Development Council undertook analysis of the above currently listed unit standards as part of a scheduled review of the standards and associated qualifications, New Zealand Certificate in Facility Operations (Level 4) [Ref: 3647], and New Zealand Certificate in Sport and Recreation (Programme Delivery) (Level 4) [Ref: 3573].
Following website consultation in June 2025 and targeted consultation with industry and providers delivering associated sport and recreation qualifications, the decision was made to review the existing unit standards and replace them with skill standards to be used in the new qualification New Zealand Certificate in Active Recreation (Level 4) with strands in Facility Operations and Programme Delivery [Ref: 5654].
Responsibility for these standards was transferred from Toi Mai WDC to the Services Industry Skills Board to reflect the VET reforms.

· 20811 and 25813 will expire 31 December 2027 without replacement.
· Eight unit standards will be expired on 31 December 2028 and replaced with five new recreation and sport skill standards to be used with the new qualification – the New Zealand Certificate in Active Recreation (Level 4) with strands in Facility Operations and Programme Delivery [Ref: 5654].
